Software development in Martinique

Martinique is French, on the euro, in the middle of the Caribbean. Currency and compliance both arrive from Europe; the customers do not. A product built for the anglophone islands is wrong here on both counts.

The facts we build against

Not decoration. Every one of them is a field in something we have shipped.

Money in Martinique. Martinique is a French territory on the euro, which puts it inside European payment and data rules while sitting in the middle of the Caribbean. That combination is the whole engineering story here: a product built for the anglophone islands will be wrong on both currency and compliance.

We hold every amount as integer minor units with an explicit currency code, so a euro price and an EC dollar price cannot be added together by accident. Conversion happens at one explicit boundary and nowhere else.

What the lab ships in Martinique

Four lines, one studio. The same stack builds all of them, which is why the hardware and the app talk to each other.
